My Apocalypse Territory

Tang Yu pondered for two seconds, "From what we can see now, it seems that a dimensional portal is about to be opened."

Director Jin and the others were still eagerly awaiting further explanation.

The current situation easily led them to think of dimensions and summoning, but what they wanted to know more was how to stop all this.

Indeed, Great Advisor Tang did not disappoint them and then pointed to the distorted space that looked like a funhouse mirror and said, "We can't affect the space, at least not now. Do you see the altar below inscribed with complex patterns? That is the source of the power forming the dimensional portal. As long as the altar is destroyed..."

"However," Tang Yu stroked his chin and thought, "as it stands, directly destroying the altar is extremely difficult."

When the Rune Array was activated, a massive explosion of Source Energy blasted a huge pit at the location of Villa Number Three. Even Shay, who was skilled in explosions, might not have been able to do that if she struck with all her might.

Yet, the altar remained completely undamaged.

Director Jin and the others also realized this, and cold sweat rolled down their foreheads.

They then heard Tang Yu continue, "Instead of destroying the altar, it might be better to rewrite the rune array on it. The rune array that opens the dimensional portal is very complex. By changing any of its nodes and causing an error, the entire space channel that is forming will directly collapse."

"But there is one prerequisite, and that is that we, must be able to reach the altar."

Tang Yu's gaze fell on the five expressionless figures beside the altar.

Those people, men and women, old and young, emitted an aura that wasn't strong; they looked just like ordinary survivors.

The people present looked in the direction of the figures, their expressions grave, and in many eyes, there was a reflection of fear.

...

Clearly, the figures had already spotted them but paid no heed, just quietly standing beside the altar. However, Director Jin and the others knew very well that if anyone dared to take a step closer, those skeletons clad in human skin would not hesitate to strike.

Right now, the opponents were just focusing all their attention on the dimensional portal that was about to form, so they weren't hurrying to take action against them.

Thinking this, Director Jin and the others grew even more anxious.

They wanted to rush forward, but they knew in their hearts that if those terrifying black skeletons were as numerous as five, they would definitely not be able to get close.

They dared not act rashly.

It wasn't because they were afraid, even though many people had felt panicked when facing the black skeletons, but more because they thought... rushing forward and getting killed by the black skeletons would serve no purpose. Only by working with the personnel of Extreme Martial Arts Hall, fighting for them to seize an opportunity, would there be a slim possibility.

Director Jin watched Tang Yu and his calm associates, stamping his feet in urgency.

He turned around on the spot a few times, then bit his lip and stepped forward, "Hall Master Tang, I wonder..."

"Don't hurry. We still have a few minutes before the dimensional portal fully forms. What we need to do now, is to wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Tang Yu waved his hand, his composed voice making Director Jin's anxious expression relax a little.

He asked in surprise, "Reinforcements? In just a few minutes, the Sanctuary might not be able to provide us much support, many experts are on missions, and those few top-ranked items also... In short, there isn't enough time."

"No," Tang Yu shook his head, "I'm talking about my reinforcements."

When the Black Skull had revealed its true form and burst forth with the power of a twelfth layer Awakening, Tang Yu knew that today's incident was far more serious than Director Jin and the others could imagine.

And it was beyond his expectations, too.

At that time, he had already contacted his followers in Green Shadow, including Eileen, through the contract.

Director Jin suddenly realized, "So we're waiting for those few... waiting for that girl named Eileen to arrive. Along with your strength, Hall Master, our chances will indeed be greatly improved."

He muttered to himself,

glancing back from time to time and warily looking toward the few figures by the altar, his face still marked with indelible anxiety.

Tang Yu knew very well that among his followers, Eileen's power could be compared to Great Perfection of the Thirteen Layer, yet their side's power, compared to the Skeleton side, was still weaker.

"Fortunately, we are not far from the sub-territory. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to do anything. We would only have been able to run."

Once the space portal opened, the entire Luoxia Sanctuary could potentially turn into a hell on earth. At that time, he would have no choice but to abandon his sub-territory... These were scenarios he did not wish to see. As for the rewards promised by Director Jin, they were just incidental.

He was not that greedy for money!

As time went by, the rich red light around the altar brightened, and the space became more and more distorted.

At that moment, Tang Yu looked up at the horizon, where several small black dots were rapidly approaching.

"It's missiles!"

Director Jin and the others showed delight, firmly punching the air, "The headquarters guys are quick this time!"

Tang Yu, too, stared intently.

Several missiles, dragging flames behind them, headed straight for the altar.

At that moment, the figures that hadn't made any moves, no, only the young-looking figure in the middle, made a move.

He lifted his hand, and from the palm, a purple-black light burst out.

That light was incredibly fast and split in mid-air, forming several purple-black streaks of light, each hitting a missile.

In an instant, a purple-black square suddenly appeared, enveloping an entire missile...

The missiles in flight, as if restrained, stopped moving with their burning tails and billowing black smoke, as if frozen by ten-thousand-year-old ice.

Clang.

Like the sound of an ice block falling, the purple-black square enclosing the missile plummeted to the ground.

And at the same time, it landed on the hearts of Director Jin and the rest.

It shattered the hope that had just been ignited in them.

Tang Yu's eyelids twitched, his expression grave as he uttered a few words, "Awakening Tier Peak."

"Lucky I did not rush up to probe earlier."

At that moment, Tang Yu turned his head towards another side.

A familiar aura came from afar, bringing a smile to his face. He stepped forward, patting Director Jin's shoulder, "The main force is up to us now."

Director Jin was astonished.

The Luoxia official experts, whose morale had been low, watched Hall Master Tang walk forward. His silhouette resembled that of a warrior who knew he might not return.

The fire within them was reignited.

As they lifted their feet, preparing to follow closely, they suddenly saw Hall Master Tang at the front turn around, "Oh right, you can't skimp on the reward we agreed on."

Luoxia experts: "…"
